Abstract
SUMMARY: We present a 75-year-old man who, for 2 weeks, had progressive pain in both of his thighs when standing straight. MR imaging showed a sequestrated disk fragment, which had a signal intensity similar to that of a herniated disk with a rim enhancement in the posterior epidural space and a ruptured outermost annulus of the intervertebral disk at L2–3. Awareness of these MR imaging findings can help in the diagnosis of posterior epidural disk migration.
